THE GIANT KIWI OF THE MANAWATU HILLS
In the Manawatu Hills lived two friends. Their names were Māto and Mere. Māto and Mere loved to play games outside their pa. One day when they were playing, Mere didn't know where she was going and left Māto. When Mere noticed she was lost, she heard big footsteps. ‘Thump’ they were getting louder. ‘Thump!’ And louder. ‘Thump!!’ Mere knew what that noise was. It was the giant kiwi Iwaka! When Mere saw Iwaka, she screamed! Māto heard Mere scream and rushed out of the pa, he searched and searched for her, but he couldn't find her. Then he saw footprints. Māto said “These must be Meres!” So Māto followed the footprints, then he saw footprints bigger than him! “Iwaka must have taken her!” Said Māto. “It's gonna take awhile to get where Iwaka is!” So Māto went back to the pa to get his mere (greenstone). After Māto got the mere, he set off to the top of the Manawatu Hills. Finally he reached the top. He saw someone running towards him. Then he noticed it was Mere! “Mere!” Said Māto. “You must go! If Iwaka awakes and I am gone, he will hunt me down and find who took me!” Said Mere. Then, Māto had a plan. “I could burn him so he won't bother anyone anymore!” “Great idea Māto!” replied Mere. So they gathered wood and made a fire. Then they burnt him and everyone was safe!

Term 2 Writing Pania Of The Reef Description
Pania of the Reef - Character: Pania
On the East Coast of the North Island in a town called Napier, lived a lovely woman called Pania. Pania has lovely straight rainbow coloured hair and her eyes are as green as greenstone.
Pania was a graceful creature of the deep sea. When Pania was on land she was like an ordinary person. The land always fascinated Pania, and she would swim the surf to the beach.
During night fall Pania would hide behind some flax bushes. One night while Pania was on land, a young chief came near where Pania was hiding and got some water from his calabash. Then one evening the young chief saw Pania and came to where she was hiding. The young chief took Pania’s hand in his. He led Pania back to the whare in the pa. In the darkness they lay as man and wife through the night.
